The --pre-glob flag is like the --glob flag, except it applies to filtering
files through the preprocessor instead of for search. This makes it
possible to apply the preprocessor to only a small subset of files, which
can greatly reduce the process overhead of using a preprocessor when
searching large directories.
These flags provide granular control over ripgrep's buffering strategy.
The --line-buffered flag can be genuinely useful in certain types of shell
pipelines. The --block-buffered flag has a murkier use case, but we add it
for completeness.
This commit moves a lot of "utility" code from ripgrep core into
grep-cli. Any one of these things might not be worth creating a new
crate, but combining everything together results in a fair number of a
convenience routines that make up a decent sized crate.
There is potentially more we could move into the crate, but much of what
remains in ripgrep core is almost entirely dealing with the number of
flags we support.
In the course of doing moving things to the grep-cli crate, we clean up
a lot of gunk and improve failure modes in a number of cases. In
particular, we've fixed a bug where other processes could deadlock if
they write too much to stderr.
Fixes#990
This removes ripgrep-specific code for filtering files that correspond to
stdout and instead uses the 'ignore' crate's functionality for doing the
same.
This commit adds a new 'skip_stdout' option to the directory walker. When
enabled, it will skip yielding any directory entries that are believed to
correspond to stdout for the current process. This is useful for filtering
out 'results' in a command like 'grep -r foo > results' in order to avoid
an unbounded feedback mechanism.
These flags each accept one of five choices: none, path, modified,
accessed or created. The value indicates how the results are sorted.
For --sort, results are sorted in ascending order where as for --sortr,
results are sorted in descending order.
Closes#404
This permits callers to sort entries by their full file path, which makes
it easy to query for various file statistics.
It would have been better to provide a comparator on DirEntry itself,
similar to how walkdir does it, but this seems to require quite a bit of
work to make the types work out, assuming we want to continue to use
walkdir's sorting support (we do).
This commit adds a 'same_file_system' option to the walk builder. For
single threaded walking, it defers to the walkdir crate, which has the
same option. The bulk of this commit implements this flag for the parallel
walker. We add one very feeble test for this.
The parallel walker is now officially a complete mess.
Closes#321
This commit fixes a bug where the first path always reported itself as
as symlink via `path_is_symlink`.
Part of this fix includes updating walkdir to 2.2.1, which also includes
a corresponding bug fix.
Fixes#984
This commit beefs up the package metadata used by the 'cargo deb' tool to
produce a binary dpkg. In particular, we now include ripgrep's man page.
This commit includes a new script, 'ci/build_deb.sh', which will handle
the build process for a dpkg, which has become a bit more nuanced than
just running 'cargo deb'. We don't (yet) run this script in CI.
Fixes#842
This commit undoes a work-around for a bug in Rust's standard library
that prevented correct file type detection on Windows in OneDrive
directories. We remove the work-around because we are moving to a
latest-stable Rust version policy, which has included this fix for a while
now.
ref #705, https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/46484
This also updates some code to make use of our more liberal versioning
requirement, including the use of crossbeam-channel instead of the MsQueue
from the older an unmaintained crossbeam 0.3. This does regrettably add
a sizable number of dependencies, however, compile times seem mostly
unaffected.
Closes#1019
Previously, we used --pcre2-unicode as the canonical flag despite the
fact that it is enabled by default, which is inconsistent with how we
handle other similar flags.
The reason why --pcre2-unicode was made the canonical flag was to make
it easier to discover since it would be sorted near the --pcre2 flag. To
solve that problem, we simply start a convention that lists related
flags in the docs.
Fixes#1022
